Terminal fragment of a buckle frame that has already been recorded in 2007 in CORN-EC5F13 with the description below. The terminal is triangular in plan with a zoomorphic head at the end of the broken frame, which is lozenge-shaped in section. The rounded snout of the snake-like head is slightly longer than its pair at the opposite end of the frame, with very similar circular eye sockets where the inner eye socket is more recessed than the outer socket. At the side of the head, just beside the inner eye socket, there is the beginnings of the strap bar, which is circular in section and…

Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper-alloy buckle frame, semi-circular in plan and semi-circular in cross-section, with a flat reverse. The frame was originally D-shaped, like the comparanda below. Only one of the three terminals survives, in the form of a sub-triangular animal head terminal with circular eye sockets which may have originally been settings for a stone. The other two terminals on either side of this one are missing, but would probably have looked the same. The frame is chamfered on the outer edge, but still leaving a flat upper surface which is ornamented with a zigzag pattern, with some…

Cast copper-alloy buckle frame, triangular in plan and semi-circular in cross-section, with a flat reverse. The frame may have originally been D-shaped, like the comparanda below, and been bent into this new form. At the apex of each of the points of the triangle, there is a sub-triangular animal head terminal with circular eye sockets which may have originally been settings for a stone. One of the three terminals is missing, but would probably have looked the same. The frame is chamfered on the outer edge, but still leaving a flat upper surface which is ornamented with a zig-za…
